Ban the burkha ?
MUSLIM women should be banned from wearing the burkha and other veils that cover their faces in *public, the UK *Independence Party said yesterday.


Nigel Farage, the party’s former leader, said the move would prevent extremists imposing their culture – including Sharia law – on Britain.

The Euro MP told the BBC’s Politics Show: “I can’t go into a bank with a motorcycle *helmet on. I can’t wear a balaclava going round the District and Circle line.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
If they start allowing motorcyclists to wear a full face helmet when they enter a bank, then of course the should be no need to ban a full face veil that possibly can disguise your identity.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
How many women in the UK actually wear a Bhurka or veil? According to the link posted it's 200,000. Wiki says there's around 2.4,000,000 Muslims in the UK, so that would mean 1 in 6 muslim women wear a bhurka or veil. Frankly, I find that hard to believe.

I mean, it's not as if women in Bhurkas are a common sight. Not around here anyway.

The wearing of any garment that can be construed as deliberately trying to hide your identity will be looked on with suspicion by most people, be it a hoodie, helmet, hat or veil.

According to the interview with nigel farage there are 200,000 and he got that number from 'experts', very convincing.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
Prevent extremists from imposing their culture? You mean by, for example, dictating to people what clothes they are allowed to wear?
